Ringing In A New Year

Time To Sell
2005 – 14 years. That’s how long we have lived in our house. I didn’t realize we had been there that long. Time really does fly by. I have to say, we moved there for all the wrong reasons. It was a very emotional decision, brought on by the stress going on in our lives…
